Remove Cat Urine Odor and Stains from Your Hardwood Floors... cat urine removal .

Nature's Miracle Stain and Odor Remover: The container said that it would remove 100% of the odor if applied correctly. Granted, the gravity of the situation I had to deal with was probably much greater than what the majority of their customers have to deal with. We used about four gallons of the product in total. We poured the gallons into a garden sprayer and bathed every floor in our house with the stuff. We let it sit over night. When I came back the next day, 80% of the smell was gone. That was, in essence, 80% exciting, 20% disappointing. There was still more to be done.... cat urine removal .

Hydrogen Peroxide: After racking my brain for more ideas to tackle the smell, as well as the stains, I was running low on ideas. I hit the Internet again and found a message board targeted at urine stained hardwood. One suggestion for stain lifting was hydrogen peroxide. The lady swore by the method and I was looking to try anything. My friend and I bought up every bottle of peroxide from a local pharmacy and took to the floors. We picked out a particularly disgusting stain and decided to test our new product. When we poured the peroxide onto the stain it immediately began to bubble up a nasty yellowish brownish color accompanied by a putrid stench of urine. As gross as it was, it was pretty exciting. We could literally see the urine resurrecting from the floor.... cat urine removal .

As the urine came up, the stains did too--but only to an extent. The process became the following:

1. Coat stain with hydrogen peroxide and let stand.

2. Remove lifted stain with disposable towel to disallow nastiness from resettling into the wood.

3. Re-coat stain with hydrogen peroxide and scrub stain with a bristle brush for 5 minutes.

4. Mop up lifted stain with clean pure water.

5. Repeat if necessary.

Also, we did notice that the floors looked better the next morning than how we thought we had left them the evening before. So if you think you're making progress, give it overnight to see how far you've actually gotten with the stains.... cat urine removal .
